Dear Herman:
I have your letter of July 8th regarding the Kings Gateway
Hotel, liana 0' Lakes, Wisconsin,
I am one of those of t he opinion that the individual
approach to any of these lousy resorts is not the way to handle
the matter, I don't think we could be successful in one out of
a thousand times, I have therefore directed my efforts to the
mass attack type of thing as indicated by the attached clippings
from the Madison Capital Times of a few weeks ago.
All of this material has been presented to the Wisconsin
Governor's Commission on Human Rights and it is being made a
part of a survey of the State of Wisconsin, It is anticipated
that a recommendation will come from the Governor's Commission
which will direct the Attorney General of the state to prosecute
under the Civil Rights statute on the state books such resorts
which practice discrimination,
I am now making my third supplement to the original report
which I presented to the Governor's Commission and the newspapers
and I will make the copy of the letter which you sent me a part of
that supplement, Incidently, in so far as the Kings Gateway Hotel
is concerned, there have heen conflicting reports with respect to
theirr estricted pradtice. They do take Jewish people as any number
of people from Wisconsin and Illinois have indicated that they have
been accepted as guests. It is very possible and likely the Jews
are accepted only during the slack season. I'll see if I can dig up
some info on this one instance, but I think you ought to know that
it is being made part of a major project and possibly no a ction can
or will be taken until the whole thing can be done at #one time.
Best personal regards,
